Motorcoach Collection

In 1974 the museum acquired it's first vintage Motorcoach.  Since then the collection has grown to 8 Transit vehicles from manufacturers like General Motors and their iconic New Look "Fishbowl" buses to early buses built by American Car and Foundry.  These vehicles tell the story of the how buses began to replace trolley service in the 1930s and 1940s.
